In need of a new printer, having done a bit or research, and
considering either the Canon PIXMA mg5420 or the HP Photo Smart 7520.
There are Linux drivers for the Photosmart which are supposed to
handle both the printer and the scanner. But in my research I haven't
found (yet) anyone who's gotten the scanner to work with Linux on the
Photosmart, let alone the sheet feeder for it. Allegedly there are
instructions and requirements for using the fax on Linux. But I'd
like to hear from someone who has actually gotten all of this working
on Linux (either debian or centos) and which version of which distro
is needed.
The Canon PIXMA mg5420 doesn't have a fax or a sheet feeder for its
scanner, but I'm guessing it's even dodgier to get just its
single-sheet flatbed scanner and its printer working with Linux. So
has anyone had success with that?
I've also read horror stories about the how often new ink cartridges
are required, that basically you pay for the printer a second and
third time buying cartridges (not to mention how often a print job is
interrupted by a trip to buy new cartridges). Any first-hand reports
on that?
Whoever thought spending money would be so tough?
Thanks for your knowledge and experience.
